Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 104/516,1136/361
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 104,1136
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 104,1136 is 8 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 516,361 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 516,361 is 186276 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 104,1136
2 | 104, 1136 |
2 | 52, 568 |
2 | 26, 284 |
13, 142 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Factors of 1136
List of positive integer factors of 1136 that divides 1136 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,71,142,284,568,1136
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 104,1136 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 104,1136 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 516,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 186276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/186276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 104/516,1136/361 is 8/186276
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 516,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(516,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(516,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(516,361) = ( 516 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(516,361) = 186276 / 1
LCM(516,361) = 186276
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
